notes.
just notes.
beautiful (_and sometimes horrifying) little black dots on a page... or in our minds. assembled in some divinely appointed or humanly chosen order (depending upon who's defining it__the composer or the critic). created with the intent of making one FEEL something. a mood or an emotion. or created solely because: it just has to come out...
reflective. introspective. inspired. a magnificent aural painting... the centric focus of a concert or simply background elevator air-space filler. score for filmed entertainment to dramatically enhance the story's impact on the viewer or the driving energy for a video game. a seasonal mood enhancer, a religious experience, a memorable hook to sell a product or the soothing ambience to accompany a relaxing massage.
regardless of its role_ it requires: notes.
and one to invent & deliver the order, the dynamic, the spirit of them all into some sensible (or non sensical) form.
& thusly
a song, a work,
an epic, a ditty,
a composition...
is born.
